Awesome. In walking around present day dealerships, I've wondered what it was like to walk up to a new 914 off the truck...

I remember talking to sales personel at Putnam Motors in SBend,IN about a new 914. Well out of my price range at that time. Ended up with a 73 1.7 ,that I purchased in 1978 and still have. Added the 1970 914-6 later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Kuhl! Thanks, especially to Wilco...those look great. Keep 'em coming if anyone has more.

Notice how crammed the German dealership looks compared to the USA showroom floor. I have heard that in Europe, the showrooms had demonstrator cars...from which you test drove then ordered your car and waited for it, vs the US dealerships where you just picked one out and took it home that same day.

I remember buying my first 914 at a Porsche-Audi dealer in central Illinois in 1974. They had a couple of Porsches on the lot, and more Audis as they sold better in central Illinois than Porsches.

Almost all the Porsche-Audi dealerships had that same box shape in those days.

Here is a period ad showing a dealer from back in the day Jeff, which of course came from your own treasure trove online! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Somebody has restored the Chick Iverson P+A Baywindow VW Van they had back in the 70's (still there but now called Newport Beach Porsche on Coast Hwy SR-101), that I'll try to get some pix of next time I see it at a PCA or VW show/event. It looks just like I remember it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In Germany the cars in the showroom are for look and feel.
In the second step they become the demo car status for driving.
You can buy it if you want but the most buyers of new cars in
Germany want an unused and untouched car so they must waiting for it.
Like my wife for her Tiguan.
For the Tiguan she was 7 month on the waiting list but that is nothing
in comparison for my Q7. The delivery time was 44 weeks and I hope
to get it in week 52 as a self paid late christmas gift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
